Arriving at Keflavík Airport

Keflavík (KEF) is Iceland's main international airport and handles almost all overseas flights.

Reykjavík city centre is separate from the airport, so you'll need onward transport to reach your hotel.

Allow time between your flight and any onward transport, especially after baggage reclaim.

Pre-booking a transfer can be useful during busy arrival periods and late-night flights.

About airport transfers in Iceland

Keflavík International Airport sits on the Reykjanes peninsula, west of Reykjavík. Shared airport buses and private transfers both connect the airport with the city and nearby stops such as the Blue Lagoon. Shared services run to a schedule, while private transfers pick your group up directly — choose based on your group size, luggage and budget.

Is a shared bus or private transfer better?+
